Isaiah 31:1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

Job 42:1-6Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

The book of Job is a very interesting study because of its deep theology and also because of its many deep applications for the Christian life. We see a man who’s afflicted by the worst things that a person could face in this life, but yet remains faithful to God. However he is not without questions.

Pictures of Mel Trotter (1870–1940) show a distinguished gentleman with serious face, slight smile, silver hair, wire glasses around perceptive eyes. His favorite verse was 2 Corinthians 5:17, and for good reason:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

Trotter’s father, a bartender, taught Mel the trade at an early age. Despite the earnest prayers of his mother, Mel followed his dad headlong into runaway drinking, smoking, and gambling. When he married, his habits reduced his family to poverty. Mel sold the family possessions from under his wife’s nose to replenish his drinking money, then he resorted to robbery to satisfy the craving for more booze.

TODAY

SUNDAY TRAINING CLASS (ADULTS)We are continuing in our series on “How to Study the Bible” at 9.15am every Sunday.

6 MAR, BUSINESS MEETINGThis business meeting is for us to report on the Statement of Accounts for 2004 and to close the budget.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 15
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of
many redound to the glory of God.

Most of us know only a few of the 12 stanzas in this well-loved hymn by John Newton who was saved from a desperately wicked life. At the close of his life at 82, Newton said, “My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things, that I am a sinner, and that Christ is a great Saviour.”

I thank God that our salvation is not based on anything but the Gift of the Grace of God! Our bodies may fade and fail us, but God does not!
